Summary
Detective Superintendent Roy Grace has to solve a disturbing murder whilst protecting an innocent eye witness in Looking Good Dead, by award winning crime author Peter James.
When a young woman’s body is found butchered in Brighton, Roy Grace cannot help but think of his own missing wife and her unsolved fate.
Elsewhere in the city, when Tom Bryce finds a disc left on a train, he simply tries to do the right thing – return it to its owner. But this attempted act of kindness makes him the sole witness to that same vicious murder.
Learning that Tom has made a statement to Grace’s team, the killers have to act. But when they plan the murder of the Bryce family, it’s not just revenge – it’s entertainment.
Although the Roy Grace novels can be listened to in any order, Looking Good Dead is the second gripping title in the bestselling series. Enjoy more of the Brighton detective’s investigations with Not Dead Enough and Dead Man's Footsteps.
Now a major ITV series, Grace, starring John Simm.

A very good police whodunit.
Having read many police stories it was good to have a uk based story that was very realistic. The story itself made me antisocial as I couldn't stop listening to it to find out what happened. It wasn't at all predictable and you really didn't know what the ending would be. The description was good and I could really "see" it all happening. It was also good to have a bit of romance that wasn't mushy or unrealistic. When I had finished it I wanted to get the next one in the series straight away!

Very short
Is this only half the book? I found it very short and there is a much longer version on the site as well. Very confusing having two versions.

Another goodie
Some of the descriptions of women are a bit corny but I guess this is a pretty old book by now. (When psalm pilots were still around) Very enjoyable overall. Looking forward to the next one

Excellent - but consider hard copy
Very clever storyline, it makes you feel quite uneasy because the opening scene is not beyond the realms of possibility. Lots of twists and turns, you are never quite sure what the outcome will be. I am a recent convert to the Detective Superintendent Roy Grace series and this does not disappoint.
DS Grace droll sense of humour and on occasions self deprecating attitude is very funny and lightens the atmosphere, amidst all the suspense. I would recommend reading this series in order of publishing as it helps you understand DS Grace fully.

Gruesome and violent..
Royce has his work cut-out trying to stop an organised sadistic ruthless sicko, after finding a headless chopped up body of a woman.
PJ's characters are strong and individual, I especially liked the 'weatherman' and the relationship between Kellie and Tom, wonderfully done.
The darkness is tempered by a new team member called Potter he had me laughing, if not feeling a little sorry for him. Royce appears to be trying to move on, though as with the first book, he can't seem to keep away from the clairvoyants or give up hope of finding his missing wife.
I have to say though and I usually whinge that book are overly long and eeked out but this offering seemed a little rushed and because it appeared to end abruptly the story lost a star.
Still I will continue to root for Royce he has got under my skin now.
